[POLL] Anon Posting?

[Zergy]

Who was Conq and why did he become an admin, make all these rules, then suddenly disappear? Talking about trying to make Twinking an E-Sport and all this shit. Somebody give me a TLDR to why this dude was even important to begin with?

This round of anon posting hasn't been too bad - presumably with the "every anon post must be approved" setup. Having the Q&A forums allow anons seems to work reasonably well for newbies who have legit questions and haven't made an account yet.

That all being said - if its easier on the moderation team to not have to deal with approving/cleaning up anon posts - I think we're better without it.

We didnt need it the first time it came around. If noobies with questions cant take 2 minutes of their time to make an account to ask a question, they really shouldnt be here in all honesty.

Is it suddenly hard to create a free account and become an XPOff Member?

Anons aren't people, they are just Gm spies sent by blizzard to spy on the cheate- i mean xp off exploiters

Voting anonymously on whether or not to allow anon to post has the perfect amount of pleasant irony..

With that said, anon posting is dumb and nobody except conq could ever give a real reason for it other than lazy ppl that will spend more time posting trash than making an account.

As a lazy way to comment and people can’t track where that persons motives except the overseers of forums, is say na.

Off with their heads!

You raise a very valid point.

This poll is literally selectively biased, since anonymous posters can't even vote. Making an account just to vote would only be counter intuitive.
Keep the anons alive.

There there, I voted "keep" on your behalf since I'm 50:50 about it myself

Although I would vote "get rid" if the mods weren't doing such sterling work of weeding out the facepalm posts. If they are.

Back in I think 2015 maybe '14 Myrm bought twinkinfo from Shane. After a few months Myrm went avol and hasnt really been seen much since. He overpaid, by alot btw. 19s was doing very well on US at the time and the site was in turmoil because staff disagreements and no boss. A few 19s banded togheter and made Xpoff. At the start it was run by Chap and Shamantix who ran and made the site in the early days. Xpoff got more and more users coming over and TI was in trouble. Chap and Sham moved on to greener pastures and Conq kinda fell into power because the others didnt want it. Myrm agreed to give TI database to xpoff and shut down in exchange for 50% of Xpoff. But Myrm isnt around so Conq has been in charge.

Never knew this existed, now I am going to miss it.

in my opinion anon posting was way more toxic the last time it was removed, now it's a bit more calm you could say.. so it's fine with me.

All the edgelords moved to private discords anyways + with admin/mods needed to approve posts there has been a sharp decline in anon trolling. Who cares is the real question

 

[Sketchbag]

I've been approving more then deleting but still... watching ppl logout of their account to post as an anon with the same name feels clunky...

With the staff required to approved or delete certainly has decreased the volume but the issue still remains...

Anons give this forum some much-needed flavor.
